Patient discussion about cough drop

Q. can you take cough drops while your pregnant

A. there are many kinds of cough syrups/drops/pills. and all of them contains different materials, some have codeine in it and that is not a good choice during pregnancy. but the best thing to do is ask the pharmacist that sells the medicine. their job is to know those things. you can also read the pamphlet that comes with the medicine.

Verdict: More effective throat lozenge formulations often include compounds which are topical anaesthetics and antiseptics - so if you have a really severe sore throat, it's worth paying more or checking for added ingredients that ease the pain.
